Your First Script
start - run - cmd.exe {enter}
* you
should now be at the black console (used to be called DOS) *
* you can now
just call it the console or command prompt *
* let's begin your first
script *
type edit {enter}
* you should now be at a blue screen *
type the following:
rem --------------------------------
@echo off
TITLE My First Script
COLOR 0A
CLS
ECHO This is my first script.
PAUSE
CLS
ECHO This will create a text file list of all the files
on your computer's c:\ drive
REM This is the command
dir
c:\ /s >"%userprofile%\desktop\list.txt"
cls
echo LIST IS COMPLETE!
PAUSE
notepad.exe "%userprofile%\desktop\list.txt"
rem
----------------------------------
now go to file and save like this
myscript.bat - select [OK]
then
back to File and Exit
type myscript.bat
watch your program run
when the script is done, type "%userprofile%\desktop\list.txt"
(or just view the open notepad doc)
you see should all the files on C:\ drive
Once you
have done that, let's copy and paste or open your script with Notepad++.
Notepad++ is good because it has syntax highlighting, which makes editing much
easier.

| Drive letters in use |
FSUTIL FSINFO DRIVES |
Lists all drive letters in a single line on screen; however, to
parse that line with
FOR /F you'll need
MORE /E /T0 to remove
vertical tabs or orphaned line feeds, as demonstrated in my own
DrivUsed.bat |
| File size |
FOR %%A IN (filename.ext)
DO SET
FileSize=%%~zA |
Will store the size of
filename.ext into variable
%FileSize% |
| Hexadecimal to Decimal |
SET /A DecValue =
0x%HexString% |
Maximum value 65536 (216) |
| IP Address |
FOR /F "tokens=2
delims=[]" %%A IN
('PING
%ComputerName% -n 1') DO (
SET IP=%%A
) |
Subtitute %ComputerName%
with a remote computer name to get that computer's IP address |
| Jump to batch file's directory |
PUSHD "%~dp0" |
Will map a network drive if the batch file was started from a UNC
path, and then make the batch file's location the current (or working)
directory.
Use POPD before closing the batch file, otherwise the
mapping will persist.
(Credits: Reinhard Irnberger) |
| Linefeed |
ECHO. |
Actually a carriage return/linefeed combination; displays an empty
line |
| Linefeeds CR/LF |
TYPE input_filename
| MORE /E /P >
output_filename |
Converts "isolated" linefeeds to carriage return/linefeed pairs |
| List directories in PATH |
FOR %%A IN (%PATH%) DO
ECHO.%%A |
Will fail if directory entries contain spaces |
| List files modified since ... (1) |
XCOPY * "%TEMP%" /H /L /S
/Y /D:12-29-2005 |
Will lists all files modified since December 29, 2005, in the
current directory and subdirectories.
Regardless of language or
international settings, the date format for
XCOPY's
/D switch is always M-D-Y. |
| Math |
SET /A |
Integers only |
| Check if a value is numeric |
FOR /F
"tokens=1
delims=0123456789" %%A
IN
("%Value%") DO (
ECHO.%Value% is NOT a valid decimal,
octal or
binary number
) |
Positive numbers only, no hexadecimal.
If the value is
numeric the FOR loop won't iterate, because %VALUE% will contain nothing
but delimiters.
Use constructs like
SET Invalid=1 inside the loop
if you want to use the result outside the loop. |
| Check if a value is numeric |
FOR /F
"tokens=1
delims=
-0123456789abcdefABCDEF" %%A
IN
("%Value%") DO (
ECHO.%Value% is NOT a number
) |
All numbers, positive or negative, including hexadecimal without "x"
or "0x" prefix.
"False positive" on strings like
"0FA7-A33E-7049-E444-1DEA". |
| Octal to Decimal |
SET /A DecValue =
0%OctalString% |
Maximum value 65536 (216) |
| Script's own startup drive |
SET MyStartupDrive=%~d0 |
|
| Script's own startup folder (without drive) |
SET MyStartupFolder=%~p0 |
Double quotes may be necessary for long folder names with spaces:
"%~p0" |
| Script's own startup path |
SET MyStartupPath=%~dp0 |
Double quotes may be necessary for long folder names with spaces:
"%~dp0" |
| Short File Name |
FOR %%A IN ("filename.ext")
DO
ECHO.%%~snxA |
Shows filename.ext's
Short File Name (8.3 notation) |
| Short File Name |
FOR %%A IN ("filename.ext")
DO
ECHO.%%~sfA |
Shows filename.ext's
fully qualified path as Short File Name (8.3 notation) |
| String Substitution |
SET
NewString=%OldString:old=new% |
Substitutes "old" with "new" everywhere in the string
%OldString%; case sensitive! |
| Time |
ECHO.%Time% |
Hours, minutes, seconds and hundredths of seconds |
| Time |
FOR /F "tokens=1-3
delims=:.," %%A IN ("%Time%") DO (
SET Time=%%A:%%B:%%C
) |
Hours, minutes and seconds |
| Time |
TIME /T |
Hours and minutes only |
| Time |
VER | TIME | FINDSTR /R
/C:"[0-9]" |
Hours, minutes, seconds and hundredths of seconds, prefixed by "The

This may take some time... |
